Can anyone confirm getting XP for solving this quest? I received the questline only after becoming lvl 100, so I don't see how it can give you XP. (My questlog doesn't show XP as part of the reward either). Did I miss something?
All quests award XP, but at max level it is converted to Gold. This chain can only be done at 100, so until the next xpac rolls around, you will just have to settle for the gold conversion

Description
I'm not the only prize the Iron Horde brought back after raiding my workshop. Overlord Blackhammer, the maniac in charge of this operation, took my notebook as his own personal treasure. Manufacturing techniques; schematics for new inventions; embarrassing doodles. It's got all my secrets! Can I count on you to help me get it back?

The Iron Horde want my inventions so bad? Then we'll leave some behind. These little beauties will blow the treads clear off a tank AND melt her chassis into the dirt. Let's see them try and drive their shoddy cannons out of this place!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- And The Mole You Rode In On
